Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) has issued a request for proposals for the development of the Al Nouf Independent Power Producer (IPP), set to be the UAE’s largest single-site carbon-capture-ready combined cycle gas turbine plant.

Located within the new Al Nouf Complex in coastal Abu Dhabi, the facility will have a generation capacity of up to 3.3 GW and is designed for high efficiency, operational flexibility, and reduced emissions, according to EWEC. 

It will also be integrated with seawater-cooled power generation and reverse osmosis desalination, with infrastructure to support future large-scale energy and water projects.

The project will be procured under EWEC’s IPP model, with the successful developer or consortium to hold up to 40% equity, while the remaining stake will be indirectly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government. EWEC will be the sole procurer of the plant’s output under a long-term power purchase agreement.
